Origin Paradise!

"Oh, there's no need for that. Why are you making this old man suffer like this, Wu Yang Gong? We're as close as brothers."

……

Before the front line of fire, high in the sky.

Faced with the Seventh Ancestor's frenzied attack, Prime Minister Bai Gui was in a difficult position. No one wanted to fight to the death for no reason and gain nothing.

The crimson moonlight and the magic-suppressing radiance continued to collide.

"Your Excellency, please speak frankly if you have something to say."

“Crimson…” the Seventh Ancestor said coldly, haltingly, “Aura.”

Prime Minister Bai Gui roughly understood the other party's meaning, and said with a solemn expression, "Why don't you wait a moment, Your Excellency? I'll go down and search the area. The Crimson Queen's aura is indeed noteworthy, but since you sensed it from the depths of Eternal Darkness, the situation may not be..."

"Stop talking nonsense to me."

boom!

The secret technique, Crescent Moon Calamity, was unleashed, shattering the clouds and sky.

The Seventh Ancestor held nothing back, and a crimson aura rose in the Imperial Fortress. The trust between the Dark Race and the Human Race was practically nonexistent. Once the enemy withdrew, it was uncertain whether he could still find the aura. After all, what would the Imperial Chancellor be doing at the Beacon Fire Fortress if he didn't have something to hide?

call!

Prime Minister Bai Gui was furious. He could not allow the other side to cross the line. Emperor Wuzong was a legend, and there was no possibility of him failing in his mission to kill the pinnacle of heroes from the empire.

The war intensified.

Chapter 482 Gains and Improvements (6K)

The first millennium of the Imperial Calendar, April.

The Battle of Cangwu broke out.

In the battle for the skeletons, the Duke of Yu, who plotted to frame General Cangwu and caused the defeats in the spring and winter wars, is now deliberately trying to advance to the level of hero elites.

For this reason, Duke Yu instigated the Battle of Cangwu, killed Jing Ran, a hero-level expert of the Jing clan, and caused casualties among the fortress's million-strong garrison, which was an extremely heinous act.

Fortunately, King Jingyang intervened in time, and with the help of the patriots of the empire, he finally thwarted the Duke of Yu's conspiracy, killing him on the spot and saving the fortress and the western border of the empire.

During this period, the Duke of Yu colluded with the dark races, which led to the seventh clan of the vampires attacking the Cangwu Fortress.

Prime Minister Bai Gui fought bravely and refused to retreat, holding the border firmly.

At dawn that day, the fifth progenitor of the vampires and the Imperial Pillar—Champion King—arrived at the battlefield. An hour later, the battle ended, and the four peak heroes withdrew from the border area.

For his outstanding contributions in thwarting the Duke of Yu's conspiracy, Jiang Wuyang, a special major general in the military, was honored with the title of Duke Wuyang and awarded the title of super genius. He was put in charge of the defense of Cangwu Fortress and awaits promotion to hero in the future so that he can be formally promoted to Duke.

……

The western border of the empire, Tianshui Province, Tianshui City.

As an ancient city with a history of nearly a thousand years, Tianshui City naturally assumes the core function of the western border.

The ancestral halls of the five great families of Yan, Fu, Shan, Ruan, and Yu are all located here. The headquarters of the Western Border Army and the Western Border Royal Palace are also located in the city. In addition, there are two of the ten major sects of the empire, as well as a very few powerful individuals in the wild.

The publicly known number of King-level combatants is more than a handful. As for the Pillar-level, which is equivalent to the peak of heroes, there are only six of them in the entire empire, and they are never revealed to the world.

And just three days after the Battle of Cangwu ended.

The Jing clan held a grand funeral to commemorate its core member and senior combatant, Jing Ran.

The fall of a hero-level being is a huge loss for any first-class power. Even the Jing family, which has a history of five hundred years, only has four heroes. The fall of Jing Ran is equivalent to losing an arm.

In Tianshui City, representatives from all sides attended the funeral.

"Lower the coffin!"

The massive funeral procession stretched from the city gate of Tianshui all the way to Tianshui Mountain in the center. At the Jing Clan Ancestral Hall on the mountaintop, the head of the Jing family personally presided over the coffin-lowering ceremony.

The Imperial Lieutenant General, the Provincial Governor, and the Supreme Elder of the Sect gathered together, and all the heroes and powerful figures remained silent.

As for the inside story behind the war, all parties actually have almost detailed intelligence. In general, it is nothing more than the central government's attempt to take action against the Jing family, but the result ended in failure.

The Jing family ceased pursuing the issue of Prime Minister Bai Gui, tacitly acknowledging Jing Ran's death. In return, the central government halted all related actions and "supported" the two immortal warships to guard the area, which was in reality a form of compensation.

As for Duke Yu, the result of the negotiations was to convict him of colluding with dark races, disregarding his alien bloodline. After all, granting a dukedom to an alien race would involve more than one important figure, and if the responsibility were investigated, it would undoubtedly cause another earthquake.

He was stripped of his official post and title, the men were sent to the army, and the women were placed in Yunshao Prefecture. All his property and private soldiers were handed over to the General's Command. The opinions of all parties on how to deal with the Yu family's rebellion were basically in agreement, and the head of the Jing family used this opportunity to exchange for the position of Lieutenant General of Cangwu.

"Cover it with soil!"

The coffin was lowered into the ground, and mournful music filled the air.

The dozen or so wives and concubines wept bitterly, and some of the children joined in the crying, while others stood there bewildered. The oldest among them was just coming of age, and his age was not much different from that of the young talents from all sides who attended the funeral.

"To actually force a hero to his death, Duke Yu is quite capable."

"It is said that even King Jingyang almost perished."

"Don't talk nonsense. Can ten heroes combined threaten a king?"

"But it is said that Duke Yu was about to break through at that time."

"How could that be? The difference between them is huge."

"You didn't see it with your own eyes..."

In fact, very few people empathized with Jing Ran's death, especially the younger generation, who were clearly more interested in the process of the Battle of Cangwu. Several young majors whispered among themselves, and finally focused their attention on the young man at the front of the line.

Aside from the war, the most noteworthy news these past few days has to be the newly rich Duke Wu Yang, or more accurately, the Duke's exceptionally handsome appearance.

At the very front of the line, Jiang He closed her eyes to rest, ignoring the various gazes behind her that held different meanings.

In the realm of the mind, the red-haired woman hangs on a cross, engrossed in studying a stack of erotic novels.

"Talented people emerge in every generation, and in the realm of beauty, the empire is truly inexhaustible in its talent pool, and is significantly more mature than it was a hundred years ago."

"Don't make any noise."

Lilith projected herself outwards, and the surrounding heroes were completely unaware. She cupped someone's cheeks, her smile radiant.

I love your eyes, they're like autumn.

"All you can see now are your eyelids." Jiang He opened her eyes and said calmly, "Why beat around the bush? While I am still in the present situation, how did you reincarnate into the world of eternal darkness?"

Lilith pointed to the Blood Moon in the direction of the Eternal Dark Continent and said, "My Crimson Authority has merged with the World Consciousness, or rather, the World Consciousness has been trying to reclaim its stolen power for the past hundred years, and may have reached the point where it can give birth to a Child of Destiny."

Jiang He frowned. "I remember you said that the consciousness of the Eternal Dark World was able to successfully ambush you only after it had permanently lost its related abilities."

“So,” Lilith said with a smile, “this one is probably a newborn baby.”

“A newborn means easy to entice and teach, but it’s still a bit too early for you. To advance from a being of the mythical age to a seventh-order ruler is basically a process of conquering the world, or in other words, merging with the Dao, just like the mythical form is also called the Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth.”

Jiang He narrowed her eyes and said, "I thought your reincarnation was just a game. Are you planning to take it a step further?"

“Of course.” Lilith did not deny it, but answered it as a matter of course: “The rank of a God’s Chosen One increases by 1, provided that the life level of the God’s Chosen One is lower than that of a God. I can’t bear to restrict your growth, so I can only take it upon myself.”

"The heavens belong to me, the earthly realms belong to you."

Lilith briefly explained the significance of "Fish Meets the Moon's" existence: as a native non-human being, "Fish Meets the Moon" has the certification of the world's consciousness and is free from curses.

This symbolizes a kind of recognition.

When "Fish Meets the Moon" is Lilith in her true form, recognition becomes acceptance, forgiveness, and reconciliation. As a result, the Crimson Authority is further integrated into the world consciousness, and the hidden pollution is greatly aggravated.

"The good news is that you've now revealed your mark, and the powerful figures around you can't sense it anymore. However, you can't treat them like they're blind. If they see it, you'll probably still get beaten up."

"The bad news is that our connection has become deeper."

Lilith chuckled wickedly, “The Reincarnation Technique can only be used once. You have deliberately disrupted the reincarnation, which in the realm of mysticism is tantamount to refusing my departure. The great Crimson Goddess will be resurrected within your body.”

Jiang He remained noncommittal, believing the other party's words to be a mixture of truth and falsehood.

……

The funeral is over.

The Jing family hosted a banquet.

The entire Tianshui Mountain was owned by the Jing family. Countless palace complexes were built against the mountain, surrounded by towering and thick palace walls. In addition to the living areas, the areas for sacrifice, production, storage, and military preparation also covered a vast area.

Jiang He did not attend the banquet, but returned to his Wuyang Mansion located halfway up the mountain. Because he refused the servants and maids, the place was a bit deserted, and the architectural style was antique.

Jiang He went straight to the garden and began to process the harvest.

[Hint: You have gained 10000 experience points and game currency]

[Hint: Your player level has increased to LV40 (2256/4000)]

[Strength: 47+2]

[Agility: 47+2]

[Constitution: 47+2]

[Spirit: 46+2→49+2]

[Charm: 54+8]

Jiang He took out a flask of Dragon Blood Wine to quench his thirst. Normally, LV40 is already the level of some ordinary gold players. Since advancing to Silver King, he has repeatedly completed tasks worth 10,000 experience points, which has allowed him to catch up.

The two Undying Skill Enhancement Scrolls obtained from completing the Dali quest grant the Animal Companion and Fatal Strike abilities respectively.

Jiang He then took out two epic items: the receiver of the famous gun Da Li and the barrel.

The receiver boasts epic-level sturdiness, and the core matrix, Da Li, can be integrated into the weapon, growing by absorbing the power of different bloodlines, thereby enhancing the weapon's quality, with a maximum level of legendary.
